Who new that giving birth to a couple of kittens could be so painful. Nothing in life could;ve prepared you for that. Ever 20 minutes after MinnowStep's kits had been brought into the world, she was still panting.
Her adorable little kits mewled as he crawled closer to the curve of her stomach, and nestling close to her. MinnowStep smiled, blinking back a few new-mother tears. They were beautiful. And then she named them.
SealKit; the small and very elegant kit that bore a light, silvery pelt.
AruaKit; the tan, thick-furred she-cat that MinnowStep constantly had to nudge back to her.
FoamKit; a silvery/white she-cat, very beautful, but wouldn't quite stop shifting positions.
And finally little GraKit; the only boy, and every bit a pawful.
MinnowStep smiled again, and looked up as someone called.

"Here." A melodic voice mewed,
"Smell this mint. It will help you catch your breath. And this is borage for milk supply; you've got a big litter." WildSong, the medicine cat of BogClan, had entered the nursery and was checking over the twitchy FoamKit, making sure she was just hyper and not choking.
"Hmm. So whose the father?" WildSong wasnt gossipy. She just liked to know these things.
After poking FoamKit's belly and getting a mew of protest in response, she moved on the check the other three kits.

MinnowStep looked skeptical at WildSong, but did as she was told and sniffed the mint, which didn't smell bad, per say, and ate the borage, that she didn't happen to like much.
"SaltyCreek." she replied, making a face as she ate the leaves. She didn't like any herbs much. It tasted weird to be eating plants.
FoamKit squeaked in protest and scrabbled blindly back to his mother.

FairyDance grinned looking over. FairyDance was awkward moving at this point, the tiny she-cat had been ordered to move as little as possible, she might break a bone or something. "Very adorable, what are you naming them? MistedMorning, you should go find your brother and tell him he is a father." FairyDance told her friend who grunted standing up and sticking her head out the nursery door and calling for Saltycreek.
Fairydance smiled watching the kits, her whole life she had wanted to be a queen, she only had a few more days until her dream came true, but everyone was so worried about her being so small, she would prove it to them she could be a mother too.

"Never saw that one coming." WildSong mewed with mild sarcasm.
"You planning on having more?"

MinnowStep smiled at Fairydance, who had grown to be her close friend in their days confined in the nursery.
"This one's FoamKit." She tapped the one that had just been proded by WildSong.
"And SealKit." She pointed to the dainty-looking she-cat.
"And AruaKit and GrayKit. GrayKit's the only boy."

"How adorable, I hope mine are just as adorable.... mm somebody should fetch your brother as well I suppose." she sighed. "So long as he doesn't attack me in the process." she rolled her eyes at her sister in law.

"Fine. Ignore me." The thirteen moon old medicine cat left the nursery and returned moments later with more borage and a UFH(unidentified fungus herbthing) in her jaws, which she dropped at FairyDance's paws.
"Eat these or die." At the word 'die', WildSong's voice dropped like three octaves to land very dramatically on a deep dark note of doom.

"Oh, he wouldn't dare." MinnowStep meowed. She grabbed hold of GrayKit and started cleaning him. just born and he already had managed to get some dirt on his pelt. The little rascal.

FairyDance sniffed it gingerly unsure. "You aren't going to kill me WITH it are you?"s he asked gulping it down quickly as she spoke.

"Not unless I mistook it for the poisionous kind, which look the same and smell the same and... well. It's kind of a flip-a-coin deal. One is really good for you and the other is really bad and you cant tell which is which, but there's a bigger chance it's the good type because the bad type is rare. Ish." WildSong ran out of breath and shrugged.
Wasnt her fault her mentor never taught her anything.
Just about everything she'd learned came unknowningly from the other medicine cats at gatherings.

"Great...." FairyDance rolled her eyes. Poor WildSong, she tried so hard, or did she? well anyway, the Clan was okay under her paws, but she did mes up once in a while....

MinnowStep frowned confusedly and looked at WildSong. She was a little odd, in her opinion, but meant well. At least, for now.
